Protective Orders as they are currently written are only issued to people who are in a romantic, dating or marital relationship or blood related. My son had a Landlord/Tenant relationship and was denied a Protective Order after giving detailed reasons and expressing fear of this tenant who has current charges of assault and battery of police officers, had a gun(s) and has a 5 year Protective Order against him currently. My son notified the police and told the Judge the guy had a gun and another standing Protective Order against him and was still denied. Two days later my son was dead because of this utterly absurd law and the Judge who denied it.  

I learned had this happened before 2019, my son would've been granted the protective order, but, Oklahoma's protective order law was changed in 2019. As a result, I lost my son and my two young grandsons are without their dad, my other kids without their brother and my 94 year old mother has lost her grandson. 

We should all be concerned about the safety and protection of ourselves and family members. We ALL have a right to be protected from someone threatening and harassing us particularly one with a history of violence and who has no respect or fear of the law or law enforcers.
